Encore peu connu du grand public, le journaliste Jonas Jonasson, né en suède en 1961, nous offre une aventure totalement loufoque et déjantée avec Le vieux qui ne voulait pas fêter son anniversaire. Le presque centaine, Allan Karlsson, décide, le jour de son anniversaire de fuir sa maison de retraite en n'emmenant avec lui que sa paire de charentaise préférée. Débute un voyage incroyable à travers la Suède au cours duquel notre héros fera la rencontre improbable de personnages excentriques et vivra des situations hors normes. En parallèle, l'auteur nous raconte l'histoire de ce vieillard en apparence banale mais au passé plus atypique qu'il n'y parait. En effet, cet artificier de génie a côtoyé les plus grands noms du 19ème siècle allant de Staline à Truman en passant par Mao. Ceci lui donne l'occasion de revenir sur un siècle d'histoire de façon totalement décalée. Savourez ce pur moment de bonheur, chaudement conseillé par l'ensemble de nos lecteurs. Nos rayons regorgent d'histoires singulières telles que le cocasse Les Yeux jaunes des crocodiles de Katherine Pancol, Demain j'arrête ! de Gilles Legardinier ou encore le nouveau John Irving : A moi seul bien des personnages.

Résumé
Jonas Jonasson is back with another irresistible adventure, this time set in nineteenth century Sweden.
After his father's death is caused by the greedy and cunning Count Bielkegren, Algot Olsson is left with nothing to his name, except for a potato field and a homemade still to make liquor. But Algot is smart, ambitious and resourceful, and it's not long before he masters the lucrative art of distilling spirits.
When his schnapps become a sensation, he finds his success once again attracts the envy of the Count, who will do everything in his power to sabotage Algot's budding business. Thankfully, however, Algot isn't alone. With the support of his friend Helmut, a Bavarian printer with a flexible relationship to the truth, and Helmut's daughter Anna Stina, who is as strong-willed as she is charming, he might just have the creativity and the courage to outsmart the Count's schemes once and for all .
and perhaps there's even time for romance along the way. Full of sharp humour, wonderfully absurd twists and memorable characters, Algot, Anna Stina and the Water of Life is an irresistible adventure of friendship, love and ingenuity.
